What hair removal routine do you use?

At the moment, I either shave or use nair hair removal creme. I tried epilating once, but I found it far too painful. The razor I use is a mens Mach 3, it is more effective than any other razor I've used. I use Lush's hair conditioner "Jungle" as a shaving gel, because it makes my legs smell nice.
Ladies, what do you use? x

Waxing lasts a great deal longer and since I don't have a lot of time but find body hair repulsive, I wax. Waxing is not all that bad, just take two Advils ahead of time and you will be fine. Someone told me this trick a few years ago and while it might sound stupid Becca, it works.

I do the same as you - shave or nair. The razor I use is a venus, but I use Mach 3 blades on it. Both my husband and son shave every day using a Mach 3 razor. I figured out the mach 3 blades fit on the venus handle, so I just buy the same blades for everyone. I don't use a shaving gel - I just use soap! I tried waxing a couple times. Ouch! I'll stick with shaving? LOL

Nair isn't all that effective on me and I hate sitting around and waiting for it to do it's thing. That means that I use a razor whenever I need to remove body hair. right now I am using a Venus razor, but after trying my boyfriend's Mach 3, I have to admit that you are quite right. The Mach 3 is more effective and I find that it gives me an extra day that I don't have to shave.
Right now I just use a milk based shower gel to shave with. I tried LUSH's Ambrosia and I hate it because it is like chalk. I never thought to try using Jungle though. Not a bad idea, especially since that studd smells so great.

I shave. Although I do it rather infrequently. I do like the mach 3 and also the quatro. But, most recently I started using the Fusion and I love it! it works so well, the hairs do not clog up the blades, it is comfortable to grasp... the blades retain their usability for a longer span.
Plus it does not hurt that I received mine as a free giveaway promotional :)

I use a plain old boring razor with soap. The shaving gels don't seem to provide enough of a barrier for my skin and if I don't use soap I end up with a nasty rash.

I've been using an all natural remedy for the past few years called "male pattern baldness"...LOL. I use a Mach 3 for shaving my face with some Gel shaving cream which really helps prevent razor burn. I also use Nivea after shave lotion which also helps with the burn because I have sensitive skin...hope I didn't hijack a thread just meant for the ladies...my apologies if I did.

I shave my underarms and my legs. I usually use a gilette razor and shave cream from either Trader Joes or a Kiss My Face brand shave cream. However, I do wax my bikini area. I also wax my eyebrows, but pluck in between to maintain the shape.

I shave too. Besides shaving I use Nair's wax strips.. I kinda like it. Btw, what's epilating??
